Inside Joy Division

xvii, 318 p., [16] p. of plates : ill., ports. ; 24 cm.

Includes index.

A rollercoaster, inside-story of life, love, and loss with one of the cult seminal post-punk bands of the 1970s and 1980s, with rare photographs. As cofounder of Joy Division, Peter Hook was the inspiration behind a band that would shape the course of popular music. He provided the propulsive bass guitar melodies of "Love Will Tear Us Apart," and was at the heart of the sound that came to define an era and inspire a generation. Here he tells the story of that time; of the music, the madness, the band members, and the other characters on the scene that made it the unforgettable, iconic time it was. He talks with eye-opening candor and reflection about the suicide of Ian Curtis: often seen as the "intellectual one," to Peter and the band he was just "one of the lads," and the burden of balancing his epilepsy and the demands of his domestic life only really emerged when it was too late.
